Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)
What works
Everything tested works fine except two issues.
What does not
1. When graphics acceleration is activated it renders one frame behind, bug 33610
Workaround:
Disable acceleration and restart Photoshop.
2. Holding the mouse down while on using a tool like the brush tool. While trying to paint a line it will only paint the first dot like if the mouse button was released too early.
Workaround:
Right-click slightly before left clicking and holding the left mouse button, this works about 30% of the time.
What was not tested
Only lightly tested.
Additional Comments
1. On clean 32 bit prefix
Fails with winsock errors.
2. Using winetricks:
gdiplus msxml3 msxml6 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010 atmlib
This makes installation work.
Multiple apps and games crash with heap corruption or live-lock in libX11 (EA Origin, Garmin Express Fit, SMPlayer, LotRO launcher, Kindle for PC)('taskset -c 0 wine ./foo.exe' is a workaround)

Open Source Graphics vs Blobs
by Electric Prism on Sunday June 5th 2016, 22:48
It seems like it runs better on Intel Open Graphics Driver whereas it runs worse on nVidia blob even though it's just integrated HD Skylake Graphics vs a GTX 970.
I'm beginning to wonder if it works better on AMDGPU, Intel Open Graphics and other Open Drivers.
Adobe Photo Deluxe
by Hakavon on Monday May 30th 2016, 13:22
Yes, I'm still using that dinosaur Adobe program, even with Windows 10. I'd like to use it on Linux. I've tried two different times (Linux Mint 16 and 17) and at the time WINE just wasn't enough. The program would start to open, but would hang and not operate. Any chance the progress where modern PhotoShop is concerned would apply to MY program, "Adobe Photo Deluxe Business Edition"?
I'd happily return to using Linux and WINE again. This was the only thing that stopped me.
PS CS6 on Wine 1.8
by Richard Baláž on Tuesday December 22nd 2015, 9:26
So,
I had problems with installation since it always failed. I was experiencing similar problems after installation.
This winetricks line helped to install & to launch:
$ winetricks -q atmlib gdiplus msxml3 msxml6 vcrun2005 vcrun2005sp1 vcrun2008 ie6 fontsmooth-rgb gecko
After that I was able to launch successfully only 32-bit version.
PS works quite good, but drawing tools are still not working properly. And that's sad. Also, after first start PS noticed me that something is wrong with graphics acceleration (I have Intel HD 4400). But other things seems to be working and it is stable.
Brush DOTS workaround
by Max S. on Tuesday February 10th 2015, 20:26
Currently running Photoshop CS6 under Wine 1.7.34 on Mint.
I too have experienced issues where some tools will not properly draw when holding the mouse down. Sometimes I can draw squiggles, sometimes it's just a dot.
Thankfully I found a workaround to this issue in tool options.
Simply turn off 'Spacing' for each drawing tool (Brush, Eraser, Pencil, etc). After that, dots should be no more.
Floating sizes
by Woalk on Saturday August 2nd 2014, 17:19
I installed Photoshop in a 32-Bit-Wineprefix and it's working very fine at the first sight, even without the described installer problem (it said "Installation successful" just as it should).
One thing I notice: The floating values around the mouse pointer when moving or resizing an element or the selection always stays the same values as they were when showing up (most of the time something around zero, like 5px or 7px, depends on how fast I move the selection before it shows up).
I think this has to be considered as a normal inconvenience of using a Windows App in Wine, but maybe someone knows a trick if there is any.
